File search Request

[copart]

I need a way to search for a file in all the archives and receive a list of the archives that have a copy (version) of that file with some file stats. Then I will know which archive to extract from. This is very usefull when you find out a file is corrupt, but not exactly sure when it became corrupted.

You could do this via a small shell script?

REP="path/to/repo"; PAT="somefile"; for ARC in `attic list $REP | cut -d" " -f1`; do echo "$REP::$ARC"; attic list $REP::$ARC | grep "$PAT"; done

Thanks joolswills, this works for me. However, I did add to your script so that it shows what archive the file(s) are found. Including in case others want this.

#!/bin/bash
REP=$1
PAT=$2
for ARC in $(attic list $REP | cut -d" " -f1); do
    attic list $REP::$ARC | grep "\s$PAT" | awk -v arc="$ARC" "{ print arc,\$0 }"
done
